Abstract: The present invention provides a simple all digital method and apparatus ( fig. 4 ) for determining the phase of a first clock signal (Fs) relative to a second clock signal (Fs). The first clock signal (Fs) may be a digital approximation of a periodic analog signal such as an RF signal. A sampling technique is employed that produces a stream of digital bits (X) containing relative phase information. From the stream of digital data bits is formed a digital word indicative of the relative phase ( fig. 11A ). The digital word may be formed using a digital filter ( fig. 13 ). Advantageously, an extensive body of digital filtering techniques applicable to Sigma-Delta (sometimes referred to as Delta-Sigma) A/D converters ( fig. 1 ) may be applied directly to he digital stream (X). By using an appropriately chosen weighting function, high accuracy may be obtained.

Abstract: A signal amplification system comprises a bacterial multi-hybrid system, and more preferably a two-hybrid system, of at least two chimeric polypeptides containing a first chimeric polypeptide corresponding to a first fragment of an enzyme and a second chimeric polypeptide corresponding to a second fragment of an enzyme or a modulating substance capable of activating said enzyme. The first fragment is fused to a molecule of interest and the second fragment or the modulating substance is fused to a target ligand. The activity of the enzyme is restored by the in vivo interaction between the molecule of interest and the target ligand. Signal amplification is generated and, for example, triggers transcriptional activation. The signal amplification system is useful in a method of selecting a molecule of interest, which is capable of binding to target ligand, wherein the interaction between the molecule of interest and the target ligand is detected with the signal amplification system as a kit therefor. A method of screening for a substance capable of stimulating or inhibiting the interaction between a target ligand and a molecule of interest is also provided.

Abstract: A security device (10) having multiple security features is used with an item (12), such as a secure document, ticket, label or tag, to authenticate the item and/or encode data pertaining to the item. One example of the security device includes a carrier substrate (14), a metallic layer (20) disposed on the carrier substrate, and a magnetic layer (23a, 23b) disposed on the metallic layer in substantial registration with at least a portion of the metallic layer, thereby providing both metallic security features and magnetic security features. The metallic layer and the magnetic layer also form graphic or visually identifiable indicia (16) on the carrier substrate to provide a visual security feature. According to one method, the metallic layer is applied to the carrier substrate, the magnetic layer is applied to the metallic layer, and the layers are etched to form the graphic indicia. The magnetic layer can, in one embodiment, include a magnetic chemical resist (22) that is printed on the metallic layer in the form of the graphic indicia. The magnetic security features use one or more magnetic characteristics, such as the level of magnetism and decay rate characteristic of soft magnetics, to authenticate and/or to encode data. The magnetic security feature may also include magnetic tracks for recording data. The metallic security features use different lengths of conductive regions to authenticate and/or encode data.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for making identity cores for ultrasound seals. Each core comprises a chip consisting of a brazed stack of metal disks 1 bearing at least one notch 3, the resulting identity being defined by the number, the size and the random angular position of the various notches in the stack and by the unpredictability of the brazing. The invention is characterized in that the notched disks 1 provided with a central hole 2 are first stacked in large numbers in a tubular metal sheath 4 with a circular cross-section corresponding to said disks 1. The stack is then axially compressed in the sheath 4 and a brazing bead 7 is inserted in the channel constituted by the assembly of aligned central holes 2. After brazing in a vacuum oven, the two ends of the sheath are eliminated and the resulting column is segmented perpendicularly to its axis into a series of individual identity chips 8 of predetermined thickness. Such a chip is finally associated by brazing with a metal block 13 used as delay line to constitute the core. Identity control can be combined with integrity control by associating an integrity rod 10 to 12 with said block 13, whereby with one reading both identity and integrity can be ascertained.

Abstract: The present invention is embodied in an apparatus, and related method, for detecting and recognizing an object in an image frame. The object may be, for example, a head having particular facial characteristics. The object detection process uses robust and computationally efficient techniques. The object identification and recognition process uses an image processing technique based on model graphs and bunch graphs that efficiently represent image features as jets. The jets are composed of wavelet transforms and are processed at nodes or landmark locations on an image corresponding to readily identifiable features. The system of the invention is particularly advantageous for recognizing a person over a wide variety of pose angles.
